Don't judge it by the home printers. We've used it heavily in aerospace for at least a decade, it is invaluable for doing prototype work including flight-worthy exterior parts. It is already in use for non-structural complex parts like interior glareshields, and the new metallic placement technology has HUGE potential. It is revolutionary for manufacturing, as you can make more complex parts exponentially faster than would ever be possible though casting, molding, or machining.
